  • The Response of the Japanese-Brazilian Community of São Paulo to the Triple Disaster of 2011

    The Response of the Japanese-Brazilian Community of São Paulo to the Triple Disaster of 2011

    Disaster, Donations, and Diaspora: The Response of the Japanese-Brazilian Community of São Paulo to the Triple Disaster of 2011 Peter Bernardi The triple disaster or 3/11, the devastating combination of earthquake, tsunami and the meltdown of reactors at the nuclear power plant Fukushima Daiichi that happened in Japan on March 11, 2011, was a globally reported catastrophe. The Japanese diasporic communities especially demonstrated their willingness to help, organize campaigns and send donations. While a commitment to restor- ing and relating to the homeland in some way confirms William Safran’s (1991: 84) initial criteria for diasporas, the study of the Japanese diasporic communi- ties’ response to 3/11 also offers insights into these communities and their status. This paper offers an analysis of the impact of 3/11 drawn from the reaction of the Japanese-Brazilian diaspora in São Paulo. Although initiatives to help Japan were started throughout Brazil, São Paulo hosts the largest and most influential nikkei community that organized the biggest campaigns. Furthermore, the ar- ticle is my attempt to relate observed connections between disaster, donations and diaspora. I had originally scheduled fieldwork on Japanese immigration for March 2011, but after arriving in Brazil on March 12, reactions to the catas- trophes of 3/11 were a constant topic in many encounters and overlapped my intended research on the nikkei community of São Paulo. Donations played an important role, and in this article I argue that help (especially financial) after 3/11 was not only about Japan but also the self-perception of the nikkei community in São Paulo.

    VIBRANT - Vibrant Virtual Brazilian Anthropology E-ISSN: 1809-4341 [email protected] Associação Brasileira de Antropologia Brasil Rial, Carmen Banal Religiosity Brazilian Athletes as New Missionaries of the Neo-Pentecostal Diaspora VIBRANT - Vibrant Virtual Brazilian Anthropology, vol. 9, núm. 2, diciembre, 2012, pp. 128 -158 Associação Brasileira de Antropologia Brasília, Brasil Available in: http://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=406941914005 How to cite Complete issue Scientific Information System More information about this article Network of Scientific Journals from Latin America, the Caribbean, Spain and Portugal Journal's homepage in redalyc.org Non-profit academic project, developed under the open access initiative Banal Religiosity Brazilian Athletes as New Missionaries of the Neo-Pentecostal Diaspora Carmen Rial (Federal University at Santa Catarina) Abstract This article is about the relationship between football and religion. It focuses on the recent proliferation of neo-Pentecostalism among Brazilian football players living abroad and the importance of religion in their daily lives. Serving as a civilizing device that promotes better insertion of individuals in modern institutions, neo-Pentecostalism promotes voluntary obedience, self-control, self-awareness and reflexivity, by encouraging the conscious and constant monitoring of the individual over the body and emotions. This self-discipline has a limit, and the Theology of Prosperity offers conciliation between asceticism and material consumption. Football provides religion a large stage for its preaching, allowing it to reach billions of homes. The athletes become “selfless soldiers of the Word,” who demonstrate the faith globally and disseminate banal religion through the mediascape. Keywords: Football, Religion, neo-Pentecostalism, Football Players, Banal Religion, Emigration Resumo O artigo trata das relações entre futebol e religião.

  • Identity Reconfiguration of Immigrants in Portugal

    Identity Reconfiguration of Immigrants in Portugal

    Diversity 2010, 2, 959-972; doi:10.3390/d2070959 OPEN ACCESS diversity ISSN 1424-2818 www.mdpi.com/journal/diversity Article Identity Reconfiguration of Immigrants in Portugal Ricardo Vieira * and Maura Mendes CIID, Research Center for Identity and Diversity, Leiria Polytechnic Institute, Rua das Olhalvas 2414- 016 Leiria, Portugal * Author to whom correspondence should be addressed; E-Mail: [email protected]; Tel.: +351-244845051; Fax: +351-448455059. Received: 31 May 2010 / Accepted: 23 June 2010 / Published: 1 July 2010 Abstract: The starting point is the principle that there is no immigrant culture, but rather, different ways of living, coexisting and identifying oneself within the cultural worlds that each subject crosses on his or her social path. Here we study Brazilian immigrants in Portugal, working with the first wave (starting at the end of the 1980s) and the second wave (at the turn of the 20th to 21st century). We intend, firstly, to show how identity is reconstructed between two banks: the departure culture and the arrival culture. Secondly, we intend to give a voice to the most silent in the understanding of immigrants: the process of identity reconstruction of Brazilian immigrants is presented, resulting from ethno-biographic interviews. We will consider the cultural transfusion theory and observe the heterogeneous ways of living between cultures, whether by rejecting the departure culture (the Oblato‘s case), refusing the arrival one at a given moment (the mono-cultural subject according to the source culture), living in an ambivalent manner between the two (the multicultural self), or, finally, inventing a third bank, as the poets say, which corresponds to an attitude of including the cultural differences through which one crosses during his or her life history in an intercultural self (the Intercultural Transfuga).

    The Consular Function in the 21St Century

    The Consular Function in the 21st Century A report for Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada George Haynal, Michael Welsh, Louis Century & Sean Tyler 27 March 2013 Project Overview In January 2013, the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade commissioned the University of Toronto Munk School of Global Affairs to undertake (i) a review of academic literature and (ii) a survey of intergovernmental agreements dealing with consular affairs. Consular affairs was defined as services to citizens seeking assistance or protection prior to and during travel, work or residence abroad. The study was carried out between January 28 and March 15 and involved searches of the Internet, University of Toronto libraries, and court documentation in Canada. English-language materials made up the bulk of the literature under consideration. A preview of the results of the study was provided to DFAIT on February 25; the principal oral and document presentation was provided to Mr. W. Crosbie, Assistant Deputy Minister, DFAIT, on March 13. The final report containing this overview and report, an annotated bibliography and a review of international agreements, was submitted on March 27, 2013. There are three components of this research, each of which may be viewed as a stand- alone document. This document consolidates all three components: 1.

A forma discursiva privilegiada neste artigo procurou corresponder à vertente interdisciplinar ou multidisciplinar, objetivada pela linha editorial da revista e, assim, tanto quanto possível, a partir da abordagem sociohistoriográfica presente nas reflexões e análises. Nesse sentido dois conceitos fundamentais são apresentados, quais sejam, a diáspora brasileira e a diáspora afro-ameríndia . Esses conceitos permitem uma releitura sobre a História Social e Cultural Brasileira, especialmente, quando reconsiderados alguns aspectos relativos à geopolítica brasileira, às retomadas dos territórios e a luta pelas demarcações dos territórios ameríndios e quilombolas.
  • Despite Brazil's Historical Openness to Immigrants, Their Numbers

    Despite Brazil's Historical Openness to Immigrants, Their Numbers

    People have many different reasons“ for leaving their country of origin. The majority do so for socio-economic reasons or due to violence and the absence of the rule of law. In these instances, national and international efforts to improve the social, economic and legal framework in their own countries can help to reduce the need to emigrate. But what happens if political actors use emigration as an instrument for getting rid of dissident groups or altering a country’s borders and demographic composition through forced migration? ” Introduction Liberty in an age of migration… Birgit Lamm Regional Director Latin America, FNF - RELIAL Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom, México City. Twitter: @BirgitLamm Migration is a complex, multidimensional phenomenon. It is currently once more at the forefront of the public and policy debate due to the large numbers of refugees coming to Europe from the Middle East and the proclamations about illegal immigration to the United States that pepper the discourse of the new US administration. Why has this debate suddenly become so controversial? From an economic perspective, migration isn’t a problem at all. Economic models clearly demonstrate that free migration improves efficiency in a globalized world. In the age of globalization, the free movement of people is just as indispensable for increasing global welfare as free trade and international investment. In economic terms, migration reduces the oversupply of labour in the countries of origin and helps to address labour shortages in the destination countries. In the medium term, this leads to greater efficiency as far as the advantages of international specialization are concerned, benefiting both the countries of origin and the destination countries.

    The Japanese-Brazilian Community in Japan and the "Brazilian Diaspora" in the World

    The Japanese-Brazilian community in Japan and the "Brazilian diaspora" in the world Angelo Ishi (Professor, Faculty of Sociology, Musashi University) Profile: Member of the Board of Nihon Imin Gakkai (The Japanese Association for Migration Studies); Member of the first Conselho de Representantes Brasileiros no Exterior (Council of Representatives of Brazilians Abroad); Member of the Board of Kaigai Nikkeijin Kyokai (The Association of Nikkei and Japanese Abroad). Papers published in the following books: Global Japan: The Experience of Japan’s New Immigrants and Overseas Communities (Routledge Curzon), Searching for Home Abroad: Japanese-Brazilians and Transnationalism (Duke University Press) and Transcultural Japan: At the borderlands of race, gender, and identity (Routledge Curzon). Abstract This presentation aims at: 1) Summarize the 20 years history of the so-called “Dekassegui” phenomenon, i.e., the migration of Nikkeijin from Brazil to Japan; and 2) Analyze these migrants from a new perspective: not only as “return migrants” in the Brazilian-Japanese route, but as members of the rising “Brazilian diaspora” allover the world. The research is grounded on a long-term participant observation of the Brazilian community in Japan since the reform of the Immigration Law in 1990. I have actively “participated” in the formation of this community, as the editor-in-chief of a leading ethnic paper (in the 1990s) and as a leader of several migrants’ associations (in the 2000s). I have conducted in-depth interviews in key locations: Oizumi, Hamamatsu, Nagoya, etc. I have also made field research in several countries with a high presence of Brazilian migrants: USA, UK, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Australia.
